Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

On the night of the blood moon, the members of the demon-collecting team witnessed a tragedy.

Wen Xiao still remembers that when the moon was high in the sky that day, red mists came from all directions in the endless darkness and directly poured into Zhao Yuanzhou's body. In an instant, all of them were blown away by the murderous aura emanating from Zhao Yuanzhou.

Zhuo Yichen held up the Cloud Light Sword and struggled to resist the out-of-control Zhao Yuanzhou. But Zhuo Yichen was only a mortal after all. Even though he was praised as a genius by the world, he was only a child in his early twenties. How could he defeat the ten thousand year old demon?

Zhuo Yichen, Pei Sijing and Ying Lei joined forces, but it only took them a cup of tea to trap Zhao Yuanzhou.

No one could stop Zhao Yuanzhou's one-word trick. Just when Zhao Yuanzhou's sharp claws were reaching towards Zhuo Yichen's heart.

Wen Xiao could only see a black sword flying from behind them, knocking Zhao Yuanzhou to the ground.

A lazy voice came from behind them, "Wow! It's so lively! Did you do some warm-up exercises in advance?"

"Dad!" This is Zhuo Yichen who is lying on the ground.

"Your Highness!" This is Ying Lei who is kneeling on the ground.

"Mr. Hua!" This is Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing.

Bai Jiu had already fainted, so he didn't say anything.

A man in black and a man in white were standing at the gate of Zhao Yuanzhou's house. The man in white was yawning and leaning on the man in black. Judging from his clothes, he had just gotten out of bed and came over with a casual coat on.

Zhao Yuanzhou flew out of the dilapidated house. His red vertical pupils indicated that he had lost consciousness and was completely controlled by violence. The red and black mist around him was the violence that overflowed from his body.

"Brother, beat him up!"

Wen Xiao and Hua Yu didn't have much contact, but judging from his appearance, he should be a gentle person, but I didn't expect him to be so violent when he opened his mouth!

Zhuo Yichen walked to Hua Yu with the help of Ying Lei, "Dad!"

"Look at you, why are you trying to show off? No matter big or small, we are right beside you. If you can't shout, can't you use a flare?" Hua Yu looked at Zhuo Yichen, who was pale because of the fight with Zhu Yan.

Zhuo Yichen lowered his head in shame, "Alright, alright! Father doesn't mean to blame you, I just want to tell you that you are not alone. No matter what happens, your brother Ling and I can support you. You don't have to bear it alone."

Hua Yu looked at Zhuo Yichen, who lowered his head and blamed himself, and touched his head to comfort him.

For the rest of the night, Wen Xiao and the others just sat at the door, eating snacks, drinking tea, and watching the show of Zhao Yuanzhou being beaten up!

Zhuo Yichen, Yinglei and Pei Sijing took the healing pills given by Hua Yu because of their internal injuries. Except for Zhuo Yichen who was forced to lie on the beauty couch given by Hua Yu to rest, the other two were holding tea cups in their hands, watching the famous scene of the big monster being beaten with a comfortable look on their faces.

After the blood moon ended, Zhao Yuanzhou lay on the ground with a beaten pig head, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Ying Lei looked at Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling who were packing up and preparing to go back, and went forward to check on Zhao Yuanzhou's injuries.

"Remember to bring him back earlier next time during the Blood Moon. Otherwise, if he loses control of his temper outside, we won't be able to get there so quickly." Hua Yu looked around Zhang Qiling. Well, there was no problem, just a few drops of Zhu Yan's blood splashed on the corner of his clothes.

"Yuanbao, go back with daddy obediently!" Hua Yu patted Zhuo Yichen, who was squatting in the furry blanket and sleeping soundly.

Looking at the dazed Zhuo Yichen, Hua Yun's heart softened and she asked Zhang Qiling to carry the beauty bed home.

"Master Wen! It's bad. Another wooden kite attack on civilians has occurred in Tiandu City!"

Wen Xiao's recollections were interrupted by his subordinates who came running over in a hurry.

"What happened this time?" Wen Xiao stood up and took the certificate handed over by his subordinate.

"West of the city."

Wen Xiao looked at the record on the scroll and frowned, "West City again?"

Wen Xiao gathered all the team members scattered throughout the Demon Collection Bureau into the hall.

During the time when Wen Xiao was gathering everyone, she sorted out all the cases of wooden kites attacking civilians in Tiandu City in recent times, and then summarized them all on a piece of silk book and handed it to Zhuo Yichen, "Xiao Zhuo, look!"

Zhuo Yichen took the silk book and checked it with the people around him. The more he read, the more his brows furrowed. "The wooden kites attacking the people are not something that has only happened recently, but have been going on for nearly twenty years.

I saw that Wen Xiao sorted out that the Wucheng Bingmasi was responsible for the previous wooden kite attacks on civilians, but at that time they found out through investigation that the wooden kite attacks were caused by improper operation of the operator, so in the end the operator had to pay compensation to settle the matter.

Moreover, the wooden kites at that time were crudely made, as if they were made by a novice, but the structure of the wooden kite seemed like it was made by an experienced person, so it was very strange. But I heard my brother talk about it.

Fifty years ago, there was a family that made very sophisticated kites. The wooden kite used in this wooden kite attack was very similar to the wooden kites made by that family that could fly freely into the sky.

However, I heard from my brother that the family was in trouble because of an operational error during a wooden kite flying show in the royal family. The kite's wings were ignited by a candle next to the palace when it was flying low, and eventually the kite broke through the roof and fell into the palace. In an instant, the entire palace was set on fire. The fire not only burned the emperor, but also the most beloved prince at the time, so much so that the late emperor was furious and executed the entire family.

From then on, the wooden kite that could soar into the sky disappeared.

but……"

Pei Sijing glanced at Wen Xiao and took over Zhuo Yichen's words, "But in the recent wooden kite attack, there was no trace of human operation at the scene, and the wooden kites in this incident were even more finely crafted than the previous ones."

Zhuo Yichen nodded in agreement, "But I have to ask Grandpa Jiang about the manufacture of mechanisms. He is the most proficient in this area, maybe he knows something."

Zhuo Yichen did what he said and immediately got up and went to Mr. Jiang’s studio in the backyard.

Wen Xiao and the others looked at each other and stayed where they were, not daring to move. After all, they had already experienced the temper of Old Jiang and didn't want to experience it a second time.

Especially the sloppy Zhao Yuanzhou. He could smell Zhao Yuanzhou's scent as soon as he stepped into his studio ten meters away and started cursing!

Wen Xiao, Pei Sijing, Bai Jiu and Ying Lei were all annoyed by him, but they couldn't do anything to him. One of the reasons was his age, the second was that everything he said was right! The third was that it was his territory!

Therefore, except for Zhao Yuanzhou, who was thick-skinned and followed Zhuo Yichen without fear of being scolded, everyone else looked at the sky and the earth but not at Zhuo Yichen.

"Xiao Zhuo, Sister Pei and I will go to the crime scene and take a closer look. Maybe there will be clues that were not recorded."

The first time Wen Xiao saw Zhuo Yichen looking at her, she thought of an excuse and ran away with Pei Sijing.

"Brother Zhuo, you know I'm just a doctor! Although the wooden kite attacked people, there were no casualties, so I can't help much!" Bai Jiu saw Zhuo Yichen looking at him and immediately shook his hands and head.

"Master Xiao Zhuo, I'm just a cook! I'm good at cutting vegetables and cooking, but what the agency asks me to do is nine out of ten and none of it!" Let alone Ying Lei. If he could really read books, his grandfather wouldn't chase him and hit him with a branch every day.

Zhao Yuanzhou sat there with a smile on his face, waiting for Zhuo Yichen to look over, but Zhuo Yichen simply turned around and left, planning to go find Mr. Jiang alone.

Zhao Yuanzhou withdrew a laugh and followed Zhuo Yichen with a bitter face.

"Zhao Yuanzhou, why don't you smile? Are you born not to smile?" Zhuo Yichen looked at Zhao Yuanzhou with a bitter face and teased him in a good mood.

"Zhuo Xiaochen, do you think there is a chance that I won't be scolded when I go to Mr. Jiang's studio this time?"

"Ten percent!"

Zhao Yuanzhou's eyes widened. "Where do you get your confidence from! If that old man doesn't scold me one day, it will rain red from the sky!"

"Don't worry, I guarantee you this time! Grandpa Jiang will never scold you!" Zhuo Yichen patted Zhao Yuanzhou's chest and promised.

Zhao Yuanzhou looked at Zhuo Yichen who was walking away in a very good mood, smiled helplessly and followed Zhuo Yichen closely.

After Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing arrived in the west of the city, they did not immediately ask the person who was attacked. Instead, they walked around the area to see if there was anything unusual, and also talked with those old ladies who loved to gossip.

As Wen Xiao expected, these old ladies who love to gossip at the door do know a lot of news, such as now:

Wen Xiao and her friends learned that a shop specializing in wood business moved to the west of the city last year, but strangely, this shop was not open every day.

What's even more strange is that this shop is sometimes open for business at night, and people who live nearby say that there are quite a few people coming and it's quite noisy.

However, out of curiosity, someone sneaked to the door of the store and took a look. There was nothing inside, but there was a sound coming out. When the peeping person was discovered, he had gone crazy and kept muttering something like "Strange and ingenious skills, mechanical puppetry! Dark yellow sky, wrongful killing! Wrongful soul!"

After listening to the gossips of the old ladies, Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing looked at each other and went to a teahouse on the roadside, asked for a private room, and asked the waiter to go to the Monster Collection Bureau and said that Wen Xiao had something important to discuss with Lord Zhuo, and asked Lord Zhuo to bring the rest of the staff as soon as possible!
